The reaction of AlBui3 with the title compounds was investigated.The reductive rearrangement of 2-ethoxy-4-alkyl-2,3-dihydrofurans proceeds in the same way as that of the corresponding dihydropyran compounds although a complete lack of stereocontrol was observed.On the basis of the experimental results obtained, a likely mechanism for this reductive rearrangement is suggested.
